Mercenaries and Adventurers

The Northern Wolf swooped in hastily, and Keir stood firm to support the shield.

Boom!

A strong impact was transmitted from the shield to his body, but this was what Kil expected. His feet slid back more than ten centimeters due to the snow, but his entire body shape did not change at all.

After the Northland wolf howled and landed, Kiel smashed his spear down. First, it staggered, and then, Kiel put the spear head on the wolf, exerting force on his legs and using all the strength of his body to support it. In the barrel of a gun.

The sharp iron gun shaft pierced the long fur of the northern wolf and penetrated into its flesh. First, it was forced back two steps by Kil, until its four furry feet held the ground, and its long wolf claws made a rustling sound against the earth and rocks under the snow on the ground.

The two stood at each other for a moment.

Immediately afterwards, the northern wolf ignored the wounds on his body and the tip of the gun that was drilled into his body, directly raised his upper body and tore Kiel apart with his two front paws.

But this was also within Kiel’s expectation.

He finally understood that these wild wolves only had these skills: pounce, bite, and scratch, Cheng Yaojin's three axes.

"Cut!" Kil's shield in his left hand blocked from left to right, blocking many of the Wolf's rapid attacks. The strength of the opponent is not low, but compared with the swing of human weapons, it is still far behind.

He can even block heavy weapons wielded by human hands, let alone the hand of this northern wolf.

When the Northern Wolf's attack slowed down a bit, Kil lowered the tail end of the spear in his right hand, and then pressed his foot against the tail end. He grasped the barrel of the spear tightly with his right hand, lifted it back, and picked up the northern wolf.

The wolf, provoked by the spear, had its legs off the ground, and the whole wolf panicked.

Immediately afterwards, the blow that Kil expected came.

Whizzing! Whoosh!

Three arrows cut through the icy air and hit the struggling northern wolf in the air directly from behind.

Poof, the wolf's head was hit by two arrows. Poof, another arrow hit the wolf's belly.

The Northern Wolf, who was originally struggling in panic, lost the look in his eyes and his movements stopped.

Kil moved his right foot away, then swung his spear and dropped the dying wolf to the ground.

-

On the other side, seven or eight northern wolves suddenly burst out of the snow. After they didn't see the expected humans in front of them, they followed the sounds from the mountain and ran over.

Seeing that the companion who commanded them was shot, they howled angrily and ran menacingly along the ruts left by the carriage in the snow.

Keir was not afraid at all and ran forward with his spear straight away. He flattened his spear and stabbed the northern wolf in front of him!

At the same time, the old hunter in the carriage called out to the young hunter behind the carriage, and then the six of them relied on the carriage to get ahead of Kiel and fired two consecutive rounds of bows and arrows.

The whooshing sound of the bow and arrow flying across the battlefield could be clearly heard by Kiel even with his helmet on.

The six hunters shot at different targets and released arrows at different times before and after. Generally speaking, the two old hunters shot at the same target at the same time, and the other hunters each selected the northern wolf that they felt was the most threatening as the target.

In just an instant, the running wolves changed from angry howls to continuous wailing. Kil immediately joined in, and the flat spear penetrated directly from the side of the fastest Northland wolf, penetrating the entire body of the wolf, and exiting from the other side.

Kil knew that while this blow would cause serious damage to the northern wolf, it would also be difficult to take out his spear, at least not until the end of the battle.

So he immediately let go of the spear shaft, pulled out his right hand on his left waist, and with a clang, he instantly pulled out the heavily forged hunting sword.

A northern wolf pounced on Kiel while running. Kiel did not dare to take a hard hit, and turned and staggered his steps to get out of the way of the northern wolf's pounce.

Immediately afterwards, Kil slashed his sword across the body of the wolf running past, opening a long wound on the back of the body. The hair breaks smoothly, and the wolf skin cuts across it like paper. This resulted in blood splattering from the wolf's back.

But the biggest difference between Northern wolves and other wolves is that they are very tenacious. Kil has already known this from his companions, so Kil doesn't think that his attack like this will cause much trouble to the wolf. .

But his purpose is not that. He is a warrior. The important purpose at this moment is to let as many wolves attack him as possible. A small number of northern wolves will directly attack the hunters.

He has thick armor on his body, and the elf metal shield is not something that these beasts can deal with.

Kil's steps were fast and he didn't even bother with the Northern wolves trying to attack him. He just dashed left and right and used his long sword to provoke as many Northern wolves as he could.

Within a few breaths, plus the wolf he stabbed with his spear, a total of five northern wolves were attacking him around Kiel.

On the other side, the three northern wolves that bypassed Kiel quickened their pace and rushed straight towards the carriage against the arrows released by the hunters.

"Get in the car, get in the car! Fight them in the carriage!" an old hunter shouted.

The two young hunters on the left and right of the carriage stepped on the spokes of the wheels and climbed up to the roof of the carriage. The hunter on the top pulled one person up and said to the other: "Two people are enough, we can't support more people on top! You climb into the car from the rear, quickly! I'll support you."

Another hunter heard this and jumped directly from the wheel, then waded through the snow to the back of the car. Sure enough, the thick linen cloth here was untied by the previous hunter.

He threw the bow in his hand, then held it up with his own hand and flipped it in.

The three northern wolves rushed straight towards the carriage. They were quite intelligent and knew that the horses raised by humans were not a threat to them. Those with branches on their paws and attacking them with hard-headed branches were the real enemies of the wolves.

They bypassed the horses and used the horses' bodies to cover themselves, and then suddenly bit the old hunter. The old hunter who was standing on the driver's seat fell backwards and fell into the carriage unsightly but usefully. The other man jumped onto the back of the horse pulling the cart in front.

The two wolves bit an empty hole, and were shot in the body by two young hunters standing on top of the carriage.

The third northern wolf suddenly sprang out, stepped on its companion's body with its four paws, and jumped directly into the carriage compartment.

"It's coming in! Kill it!" someone yelled.

The old hunter who fell in the carriage retorted: "Overwhelm it! Overwhelm it! Those above, go support Kiel!"

In the carriage, upon hearing the old hunter's words, the young hunter dropped his bow and arrow, pulled out the dagger from his waist, and pounced directly on the furry and smelly Northern Wolf.

Ignoring the opponent's scratching at all, he stabbed the northern wolf in the face with the dagger.

The two young hunters in the other cars also took out their own melee weapons, and used their hunting knives and hatchets to greet the northern wolf.

Outside, the old hunter jumped left and right on the back of two horses that kept neighing. One of the two northern wolves tried to raise its upper body and bite him, but the old hunter who often danced with the girls in the village when he was young kept dodging. .

This scene also stunned the two young hunters on the roof of the car. For a moment, they didn't know whether they should provide support shooting to the old man.

The other northern wolf lowered his body insidiously, narrowed his cunning eyes, endured the pain and weakness of being hit by arrows, and quietly came behind the carriage.

-

On Kiel's side, although there were five northern wolves attacking him, the situation was the other way around.

Although the wolf whose body he had penetrated with a spear could still fight, it had lost a lot of blood inside its body, causing blood to flow continuously from its wolf mouth.

He couldn't run or walk, so he could only stagger around and follow the other northern wolves with threatening growls.

The other four northern wolves were not intact. They were more or less shot by the first and second rounds of hunter bows and arrows. At this time, they were all hung with pierced arrows, which followed their body movements. , flickering and causing them pain.

Kiel did not stick to one place. He moved flexibly and moved as much as possible through the shallow snow in the carriage ruts. The Northland wolves that surrounded and attacked him had to wade through nearly one meter of snow in order to surround him. Kiel, and tried to tackle Kiel from behind.

Yes, after the frontal attack was blocked by Kiel with his shield, and then the glowing sword was stabbed directly along the edge of the shield, severely damaging them, these wild wolves no longer dared to attack from the front of Kiel.

Kil chuckled, muttering something unknown in his mouth. He kept rotating his body slightly to prevent his back from being exposed to the attack position of the Northern Wolf for a long time.

He glanced at the side of the carriage and found that it was not good, but there was nothing he could do. After all, there were more northern wolves here.

The long sword in his hand was flickering with white light, and Kil didn't know if this was the time to try the Sun God Church's blessing ability. Kil also didn’t know much about its power.

When he spun around again, he slashed the forelimb of a northern wolf with his long sword. Thinking no more, he made up his mind.

Holding the long sword upside down and holding his right hand on the edge of the shield in his left hand for support, Kil rushed forward with the shield in his hand.

A Northern Wolf rushed towards him on each side. After colliding with Kil, there was a heavy collision of flesh and metal. However, Kil was only slightly blocked twice, and he was still able to rush out of the Northern Wolf's encirclement.

But Keir didn't want to escape or go to help the hunters. He made the greatest contribution by not attracting these northern wolves. If you go there by yourself, it will only add to the chaos.

After breaking out of the encirclement, Kil stopped, turned around and used his shield to protect the front of his body, then stretched out his long sword, facing the northern wolves who were staring at him with ferocious eyes.

"Send you a surprise!!!" Kil shouted and narrowed his eyes.

At the same time, according to the method he had learned from the instructions written by the church, he conveyed his strong fighting and killing intentions to the weapon in his hand through his palms.

My weapon, let me burst out your newfound power! Don't hold back, release! freed! freed!

-

On the long sword, the power released on the surface of the long sword, which had always been white and flickering, was instantly retracted into the sword body, revealing the dark gray magic material sword body.

The small words on the sword's spine are clearly visible from the beginning to the end in an instant.

After an instant, the sword emitted a strong white light, as if the entire sword was burning like a fire, a torch, a fire, a flame, or, like the sun appearing.

The white snow-covered ground reflected strong light, but not much, because the light was too strong and illuminated them clearly.

The northern wolves howled and crawled on the ground, trying to cover their heads and faces with their furry front paws after closing their eyes so as not to be blinded by the strong light.

However, no matter how they blocked it, the increasingly intense white light still penetrated the fur and animal bones, and it seemed that even their souls were strongly illuminated.

They are blind.

-

On the other side, the hunters who had been entangled with the northern wolves were suddenly enveloped in a strong white light. The white light covered everything, but it was bright but not dazzling.

Just close your eyes tightly.

The horses pulling the cart were frightened. After the white light shrouded them, they each jumped on the spot, knocking off the old hunter who was jumping up and down on their backs, and sat down on the horses' butts.

"Oh my old waist!"

The northern wolf that had been trying to bite him howled and rolled on the ground, but was trampled several times by the hoofs of the panicked horses.

And inside the carriage, the northern wolf that was fighting with the hunters was magically blinded even though it was inside the carriage.

Although the hunters couldn't see anything and the surroundings were completely white, they didn't feel any pain after closing their eyes. Listening to the howl of the wolf in their ears, they put their hands on the wild wolf's furry body and continued to attack with weapons, but they were a little more careful.

The northern wolf that touched the back of the carriage was also blinded, but it howled and leaned into the carriage, bit a young hunter's arm, and then dragged the man to the snow beside him. Run away swaying.

-

The dazzling day lasted for less than ten seconds. Since there was no harm, Kil opened his eyes wide and looked at the miraculous power in front of him.

He held his right hand tightly, feeling frightened and uneasy in his heart. He didn't expect this power to be so powerful.

The bright white light suddenly disappeared, and the white light that would have followed Kil's mental ups and downs during the battle also disappeared, revealing the recast hunting sword body.

The sudden change in light made his eyes quite uncomfortable, so he quickly squinted his eyes and blinked tightly a few times.

When he opened it again, what he saw was the cunning and ferocious northern wolves crawling on the ground, holding their heads and faces with their claws.

Kil suddenly came to his senses and rushed forward boldly, knowing that this was a good opportunity. Taking advantage of the opportunity before they got up, it was best to kill a northern wolf and reduce the pressure for the subsequent battle.

Kil's long sword was rounded and struck on the head of a northern wolf along with his steps.

Although there is a saying that a copper head and an iron tail are like a tofu waist, Kil feels that in actual combat, it is still not easy to cut down the side of a wild wolf that always attacks you from the front.

Although the wolf's head is relatively hard, it will still cause a heavy blow when the sword is struck.

As expected, after being reforged, Kil's long sword gained a lot of weight and became stronger and more flexible. At least now, Kil's sword cannot change the arc of the long sword even slightly during use.

As for toughness, the shepherd's hand craftsman said that red copper can bring more toughness, but he couldn't test it, so he could only assume that there was an increase.

The front end of the sword collided with the head of the wolf lying on the ground. After all, the bones were not as strong as metal. This sword with enough force penetrated deeply into the head of the wolf.

After Kil killed the northern wolf, he originally wanted to draw his sword, but he failed to do so. Time was urgent, and he didn't bother to pull out the weapon. He directly reached out and grabbed the head of the ax behind his back, and pulled it upwards, and the two-handed ax weighing more than ten kilograms was pulled out at once.

Without looking, Kil grabbed the handle of the ax in the air and turned his palm so that the sharp edge of the ax faced the Northern Wolf.

He took a big step, then held the tail of the ax handle with one hand, and used the inertia of the fall and the leverage to cut off the head of a northern wolf with one axe.

Kil felt that it was not possible to use the ax with one hand, so he removed the shield from his left hand and hung it on the scabbard on his left waist. Then he held the ax handle with both hands and chopped off the head of the northern wolf one ax at a time.

After these northern wolves recovered from the white light, they behaved strangely, as if they were blind. They could only rely on the sounds made by Kiel to dodge and fight back crudely.

But when they are intact, they are no match for Kiel, and they are even less likely to be his match when they are blind.

The so-called dodge was as ridiculous as a drunken man's, and his counterattacks hit more empty spaces. Occasionally, he scratched the armor on Kil's calf once or twice, and only left a few shallow scratches on the hard cowhide with his claws. scratches.

Keir took care of the five northern wolves in a few strokes. He ignored the wolf blood splattered all over his body and heard the exclamation coming from the carriage.

He ran over quickly.

The northern wolves beside the carriage and in the carriage had been killed by the hunters, but when they recovered, they found that one person was missing!

"Damn it, there are footprints and traces of struggle behind! Go to the side!" A young hunter on top of the carriage discovered the trace first and loudly reminded others.

"Then why are you still standing there! Go and save people! Oh my waist." The old hunter, who was still sitting on the horse's butt, rubbed his waist and quickly instructed the young hunters not to stand still and take action quickly.

Young guys picked up weapons one after another, jumped off the carriage, fell into the snow on the roadside, or jumped out from the front and back of the carriage, and followed the traces left by the northern wolf one after another.

Kil strode over, and the two old hunters who were still in the carriage said to Kil: "It's really an amazing weapon, but Bolu was attacked by a northern wolf and seems to have been captured. Go and save him!"

"Okay! You two old men, be careful!" After reminding Kil, he strode after the messy footprints.

Kiel has sufficient physical strength, and the power of the god of agriculture in his body can always provide him with continuous physical replenishment. After the fierce battle just now, when he is officially full of blood and fighting spirit, no matter what snow is blocking the road, it will directly hit the ground. Walking through the thick snow, like a chariot, he quickly caught up with the hunters who were following him.

The northern wolf didn't go very far with the young hunter Polu in its mouth, just behind a few low pine trees with a lot of snow on the side of the carriage.

The hunters took aim and kept firing arrows, one after another hitting the blind northern wolf. But the wild wolf also knew that he was dead, so he didn't let go even though he was fierce, and he kept on shooting. He kept shaking his head, causing Hunter Polu to cry out in pain.

He was bitten on his left arm, and most of his arm was bitten between the teeth of the northern wolf.

As the wolf's head swung, blood and flesh splattered.

After Kiel arrived, he rushed up directly, saw the figure of the northern wolf, raised his ax and slashed it from the wolf's neck, and chopped off the wolf's head in half with one axe.
